Lies, Damned Lies, and LLMs: AI is a Con
A fully automated, on demand, personalized con man, ready to lie to you about any topic you want doesn’t really seem like an ideal product. I don’t think that’s what the developers of these LLMs set out to make when they created them either. However, I’ve seen this behavior to a certain extent in every LLM I’ve interacted with. One of my favorite examples was a particularly small-parameter version of Llama (I believe it was Llama-3.1-8B) confidently insisting to me that Walt Disney invented the Matterhorn (like, the actual mountain) for Disneyland. Now, this is something along the lines of what people have been calling “hallucinations” in LLMs, but the fact that it would not admit that it was wrong when confronted and used confident language to try to convince me that it was right, is what pushes that particular case across the boundary to what I would call “con-behavior”. Assertiveness is not always a property of this behavior, though. Lately, OpenAI (and I’m sure other developers) have been training their LLMs to be more “agreeable” and to acquiesce to the user more often. This doesn’t eliminate this con-behavior, though. I’d like to show you another example of this con-behavior that is much more problematic.

Hello, friends. I've been known as "Newfangled" on Twitch and just did a re-brand of my channel. It's now called "Positive Notes" which is the name of both the channel and the show.
I'm no longer calling myself "Newfangled", but using my first given name (Dallin) as the host of my new show. So I figured I'd stop using my Newfangled account over on Universeodon and start using this account that I've had for a while but never used much.
I have been using Mastodon for years across various servers and accounts and really enjoy it. It's how social media is supposed to be. The #fediverse is amazing.
I love #music. Listening, playing musical instruments, and sharing. On my #Twitch program I share good music from my collection and good messages and stories to bring a little joy into people's lives.
I am also interested in #technology, #retro things, and #reading.
Lately I have been renewing my interest in #DigitalMinimalism and #offline things.
I am a #Christian, a disciple of Jesus Christ. I try (I fail, but I try) to emulate him - the perfect example of love, kindness, and charity.
I am interested in #nonviolence and #peacebuilding.
Fred Rogers is a personal hero and role model of mine.
Since my current job title changed from a "Director" title to an "Analyst" title (same work, different title), the amount of B2B spam I receive at my work email address has gone from hundreds per month to almost zero.
This is not a coincidence.
LinkedIn, aside from being a terrible social media platform, tracks you and sells your data. And it's frustrating that it has become so necessary for people in careers like mine to have a LinkedIn profile to have a better chance of getting a job.

I mean, the name "Stormer Book Club" is a pretty obvious reference to the 1930's Nazi newsletter "Stormfront", so something tells me they would be saying this even if Israel didn't do anything.
It feels like, even if these people weren't Nazis, that their barely suppressed anti-semitism was waiting for something to happen so they could spew this hatred without feeling guilty.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post from Sulala Animal Rescue, featuring a dog on a rocky beach. The post, timestamped 22 hours ago, reads: "Update from Saeed 🐕🐈 things urgently need to change, because in a couple of weeks and maybe even a couple of days, they will definitely run out of food." Overlaid on the image is the text: "We have some food, we are still eating." The dog is shown in profile, looking out towards the water, with the sun reflecting off the surface. The beach is rocky, and the sky is overcast. The video is paused at 0:46, with engagement metrics visible, including 301 retweets, 554 likes, and 7.4K views.

Detailed studies were made by Public Works along with an estimated budget of $100 million. Even Sir John A. was on board. See proposed route on the map.

The #Trump poster-person for the first Afrikaner #refugees from supposed anti-white racism in #SouthAfrica.
She is not a #refugee by any definition, yet she is being flown here at #taxpayer expense & handed a path to #citizenship while actual refugees are turned away.
Also Trump claims he’s granting "refugee" status to "white farmers”, but this woman lives in Cape Town, isn’t a farmer, & it doesn't seem like she's #Afrikaner since her bio says she was born in Zimbabwe.

Multiple Western Press Outlets Have Suddenly Pivoted Hard Against Israel
"These people have not suddenly evolved a conscience, they’re just smelling what’s in the wind. Once the consensus shifts past a certain point there’s naturally going to be a mad rush to avoid being among the last to stand against it, because you know you’ll be wearing that mark for the rest of your life in public after history has had a clear look at what you did."
"So if you’re still supporting Israel after all this time, my advice to you is to make a change while you still can. There’s still time to be the first among scoundrels in the mad rat race to avoid being the last to start acting like you always opposed the Gaza holocaust."
